This iis the 3rd pair of this New Balance sneaker I have bought over the years. I wear a size 9.5 SS (extra narrow) in Munro shoes - size 9 Narrow in other brands when I can't buy SS width. I bought these in size 10N each time. They are incredibly comfortable and my toes have wiggle room. I could probably wear these in size 9.5N, but I wanted extra room in the toe box for long walks.

These fit as expected and they look nice, too. My orthotics fit, but they are squeaky so I’m still thinking about whether I’ll keep the shoes.

Too high on ankle-wish NB would go back to basics and make sneakers like they used to. Say cushioned but not-hard. Inside seems not level so puts pressure on side of foot. Have always worn NB, but will have to be looking to other brands that make narrow. so disappointing.

Quality was up to Nee Balance standards but due to my age my foot is wide and toes do not lie flat so toe box depth made my foot uncomfortable.

This is a well made shoe. It looks and feels great! I would have preferred a hook and loop closure since it is easier for me than having to tie laces.

I have bought these sneakers for years. I use them every day for a 5 to 6 mile walk with my dog. They offer support, style and stay comfortable and dry over the years.

These have been my go-to shoes for decades during step aerobics, tennis and pickleball workouts. The absorbs technology has kept my feet healthy and pain-free. I highly recommend them

there is a ridge or seam on the interior under the ball of the foot that is an irritant.

The toe box was too narrow for me. When I tried them on they felt uncomfortable from the start. I always wear New Balance sneakers so I was dissatisfied.

Hurt my feet as soon as I put them on, couldn't wait to get them off! Looked really cute, but very uncomfortable on the top of my foot. Not soft like New Balance shoes usually are and seemed very much too small. Returned. Zappos is so awesome about returning items with no hassle.

I love these cross trainers. They are so comfortable and pretty. I ordered my usual size (7 D) and the fit is perfect. I have a wide foot with a high instep and high arch. The arch support is great and the leather is soft and smooth. I've worn New Balance forever and I think this is my favorite style of all. I'm very happy with my purchase!!

The 608v5 was disappointing to me--it is definitely running a half size small and I thought the arch support was minimal at best. I'm really surprised at the lack of sizing consistency from New Balance recently--I've been wearing their shoes for years and years! Obviously I returned these...

I love these cross trainers!! They are so comfortable and really pretty. I've worn them for walks in my neighborhood and they are absolutely perfect. I have a wide foot, so was happy to be able to order them in a wide width. I ordered my usual size and the fit is just right. I've worn New Balance sneakers for years and this model is one of the most comfortable I've ever tried. It's great to find real leather sneakers at a reasonable price.

Comfortable right out of the box!
The recommendation to buy a half size larger than you normally wear was spot on.

I have not purchased 'sneakers' in about 15 years, but my old ones were finally giving up the ghost. I have a narrow foot and usually order Nike's, but they're too expensive. New Balance used to be too wide in B width, so I ordered the B width + the Narrow (2A) width. The 2A fit all right, but when I tried on the B width it was the proverbial "Goldie Locks" moment and they were just right. Width was snug but not too snug.

It was a narrow, but felt wider. Overall, just did not feel right on my feet.

I have wide feet and bunions and usually need 2 E width but the wide width is plenty wide and super comfortable. Sole is very cushiony and supportive. I barely had to break these in and wore them all day at work first day. I have a job where I am on my feet all day.
